Huge modern home close to everything.

DanielleRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Sure! Here’s a review you could use: We had an amazing stay at Paul’s place in Banora! He was super responsive and made check-in and check-out really flexible, which made everything so easy. The house was great value compared to others in the area — spacious, clean, and perfect for our group. We loved the little touches like the welcome snacks and the huge selection of board games, which kept everyone entertained. Everything we needed was available, and the whole experience felt really relaxed and comfortable. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Mountain Tree House

RaymondRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This is a very beautiful house with great views. The Bird feeder on the back deck brought in some lovely mountain Larry's and bird seed was supplied. Being in the mountains the air was very moist which made for cold linen but overall we loved our stay.

Luxury Gold Coast Hinterland Villa

ErinRating, 5 stars30 months ago
Booked this AirBnb due to close proximity to our wedding venue. Groom and groomsmen stayed here the night prior to the wedding. I did not read the listing correctly and was unaware the the sleeping arrangement is one large bedroom with multiple beds, dorm style! Whoops. This was written on the listing however may need to be made clearer. The house and grounds itself was lovely and beautiful views.

Simply Paradise

KimRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Beautiful, cosy, spacious, clean and tidy apartment with 5 star views. Perfect location with the tram practically at the front door for sight seeing. Complex offers sauna, heated pool and more with underground secure parking. The cherry on top were all the complimentary extras e.g. milk, porridge, chocolate etc. And the host was extremely responsive providing clear instructions. So grateful and will 100% be a return guest should the opportunity arise.

Your guide to Main Beach

All About Main Beach

Main Beach is situated at the northern end of Queensland’s Gold Coast, and its consistently good waves draw surfers from far and wide. In contrast with its rather functional name, Main Beach is a picturesque two-kilometre stretch of soft white sand framed by grass-topped dunes and the calm waters of the Gold Coast Broadwater estuary. It’s also a busy working port, with a yacht club and a large marina lined with boat shops, cafes, and waterfront restaurants where people come to linger over a morning coffee while looking out for pelicans overhead.

The seafront suburb is home to the historic Main Beach Pavilion, as well as the Gold Coast’s first surf club, established in 1936. Philip Park is a large, open green space that’s a popular spot for picnics in the fresh coastal air. You can also spend your afternoons browsing through the cafes and shops set back from the beachfront, whether you’re trying on clothes in Tedder Avenue boutiques or picking up fish and chips to enjoy by the shore as the sun dips below the horizon.

The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Main Beach

The subtropical climate of Gold Coast makes for comfortable weather conditions throughout the year. Main Beach holiday rentals are usually the most sought-after during the school holidays, especially over summer, when the weather is perfect for enjoying the beach and dining outdoors. That said, the summer months can get very humid, and it’s not uncommon to have a thunderstorm after a long, hot day. Starting in February, a month’s worth of events makes up Bowlzilla, a fun-filled skateboarding festival that marks the end of summer.

Autumn is an ideal time to visit Main Beach. Temperatures have cooled down, making the season a great time for cycling and picnics, and the skies are generally clear, with less rainfall than other seasons. April brings the Gold Coast Film Festival, which sees pop-up cinemas and film-related events all over the city. Spring is also mild, although days can be windier than at other times of year. Even winter is fairly mild in Main Beach, with comfortable temperatures in the middle of the day.

Top things to do in Main Beach

Gold Coast seafood

This seaside suburb is home to a plethora of seafood spots, from markets at the northern end of Mariner’s Cove Marina to glass-fronted, upscale eateries serving up the freshest sushi. Every morning, trawlers tie up at the pier to sell their fresh catch directly to the public — including prawns, spanner crabs, and tuna — so you can cook up a storm any day of the year.

McIntosh Island Park

Sometimes referred to as Peacock Park thanks to its prolific peacock population, this sprawling green space, which flanks the Nerang River, offers a peaceful place to picnic, exercise, or gather with friends and family. A stream runs through the park, a small sandy beach on its edge. Towering trees provide welcome shade on hot days, and there’s a fishing spot where you can cast a line for whiting and bream.

Gold Coast Oceanway

The Gold Coast Oceanway is a 36-kilometre cycle and pedestrian path that runs from the Spit at the northern end of Main Beach to Point Danger in the south. The path is a great way to take in this picturesque section of the Queensland coast. There are picnic spots and BBQ facilities along the way, as well as viewing platforms and plenty of spots to take a dip.
